When our mind becomes more subtle, the grosser minds are absorbed. When a meditator reaches a very advanced state of meditative absorption, the sensory consciousnesses totally cease. If that is so and the karmic imprints are carried on these consciousnesses, then, the Chittamatra scholars argue, it would be impossible that they could later be reactivated out of nothing. There must be another mind—not these sensory or mental consciousnesses—that does not cease during meditative absorption. It is this seventh mind that carries the seeds that will ripen to reestablish the more normal minds once a meditator comes out of deep meditation.
